WARNING:
Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been disconnected.
Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the
installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment.
Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you
ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury. National Electrical Code and Local codes must be carefully followed.
Avoid extended exposure to machinery with high noise levels. Be sure to wear ear protective
devices to reduce harmful effects to your hearing.
This equipment may be connected to other machinery that has rotating parts or parts that are
driven by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified
personnel should attempt to install operate or maintain this equipment.
Do not by-pass or disable protective devices or safety guards. Safety features are designed to
prevent damage to personnel or equipment. These devices can only provide protection if they
remain operative.
Avoid the use of automatic reset devices if the automatic restarting of equipment can be
hazardous to personnel or equipment.
Be sure the load is properly coupled to the motor shaft before applying power. The shaft key
must be fully captive by the load device. Improper coupling can cause harm to personnel or
equipment if the load decouples from the shaft during operation.
Use proper care and procedures that are safe during handling, lifting, installing, operating and
maintaining operations. Improper methods may result in bodily injury.
Before performing any motor maintenance procedure, be sure that the equipment connected to
the motor shaft cannot cause shaft rotation. If the load can cause shaft rotation, disconnect the
load from the motor shaft before maintenance is performed. Unexpected mechanical rotation of
the motor parts can cause injury or motor damage.
Disconnect all electrical power from the motor windings and accessory devices before
disassembly of the motor. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
Do not use non UL/CSA listed explosion proof motors in the presence of flammable or
combustible vapors or dust. These motors are not designed for atmospheric conditions that
require explosion proof operation.
Motors that are to be used in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres must display appropriate
hazardous location markings including zone/division, class group and temperature codes.
Specific service conditions for these motors are defined in NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 500.
UL Listed motors must only be serviced by UL Approved Authorized Baldor Service Centers if
these motors are to be returned to a hazardous and/or explosive atmosphere.
This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Disconnect and lockout all
ungrounded conductors of the ac power line before proceeding. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
Rotating parts can cause serious or fatal injury. If relubrication is performed with the motor
running, to avoid injury do not contact any rotating parts.
Solvents can be toxic and/or flammable. Follow manufacturers safety procedures and directions.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
Use of an air jet may cause flying debris and generate particulate matter. Wear suitable skin, eye
and respiratory protection. Failure to observe this precaution may result in bodily injury.
Space Heaters operate at line voltage. Disconnect power to space heaters before performing
maintenance work on motor. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury
or loss of life.
Thermostat contacts automatically reset when the motor has slightly cooled down. To prevent
injury or damage, the control circuit should be designed so that automatic starting of the motor is
not possible when the thermostat resets.
High Voltage may be present even when the machine is not rotating. Ensure that power has been
disconnected before touching the motor or any of its components. Electrical shock can cause
serious or fatal injury.

General Information
Safety Notice Continued
Caution:
Do not lift the motor and its driven load by the motor lifting hardware. The motor lifting hardware
is adequate for lifting only the motor. Disconnect the load from the motor shaft before moving the
motor.
Caution:
If eye bolts are used for lifting a motor, be sure they are securely tightened. The lifting direction
should not exceed a 20 angle from the shank of the eye bolt or lifting lug. Excessive lifting
angles can cause damage.
Caution:
For motors built with an external circulating oil system (flood lube), refer to the motor nameplate
for the appropriate orifice, pressure and flow rates for the oil.
Caution:
To avoid damage to the windings do not use air pressures greater than 30 psi (200 kPa). Avoid
directing the air in such a way that the dirt will be blown into inner crevices.
Caution:
To prevent premature equipment failure or damage, only qualified maintenance personnel should
perform maintenance.
Caution:
Do not overlubricate motor as this may cause premature bearing failure.
Caution:
Overlubricating can cause excessive bearing temperatures, premature lubrication breakdown
and bearing failure.
Caution:
To prevent equipment damage, be sure that the electrical service is not capable of delivering more
than the maximum motor rated amps listed on the rating plate.
Caution:
If a HI POT test (High Potential Insulation test) must be performed, follow the precautions and
procedure in NEMA MG1 and MG2 standards to avoid equipment damage.
Caution:
To avoid damage to motor bearings, grease must be kept free of dirt. For an extremely dirty
environment, contact your Baldor distributor or an authorized Baldor District Office for additional
information.
Caution:
Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor. Damage may
occur to paint and insulation systems.
Caution:
When driven equipment may be damaged by incorrect rotation direction, uncouple the motor form
load and check motor rotation direction during initial start and be sure rotation is correct.
Caution:
Motors with oil lubricated bearings (such as sleeve bearings) are shipped without oil. As soon as the
motor is received, the bearing oil reservoir should be filled to the indicated level with the proper
lubrication oil (see Section 4 Constant Level Oiler). To avoid motor damage, do not rotate the shaft
until you have filled the oil reservoirs to the proper level with recommended lubricant.
Caution:
Repeated starts and/or jogs can greatly reduce the life of an induction motor.
Caution:
The space heaters are designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature stated
on the nameplate. If the marked ambient and/or voltage are exceeded this maximum surface
temperature can be exceeded and can damage the motor windings. If applied in a division 2 or
zone 2 environment this excessive temperature may cause ignition of hazardous materials.
If you have any questions or are uncertain about any statement or procedure, or if you require additional
information please contact your Baldor District Office.
Each motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment.
Receiving
When you receive your motor, there are several things you should do immediately.
Do not unpack until ready for use.
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the
commercial carrier that delivered your motor.
2. Verify that the part number of the motor you received is the same as the part number listed on your
purchase order.
The motor should be lifted using the lifting lugs or eye bolts provided.
Handling
1. Eyebolts or lifting lugs are intended for lifting only the motor with the standard factory installed
accessories such as tachometer, etc., the lifting means on the motor must not be used to lift the motor
plus additional equipment such as gears, pumps, compressors, or other driven equipment. The lifting
means on the motor cannot be used to lift assemblies of motor and other equipment mounted on a
common base.
2. In all cases, care should be taken to assure lifting in the direction intended in the design of the lifting
means. Lift using all lugs provided using a hoist with adequate capacity.
Be sure lift or hoist equipment has appropriate tires for the terrain to avoid becoming stuck or tipping
over. If the shipping pallet is intact, use a fork lift to move the motor. If the shipping pallet is not used,
lift using all lugs provided. Likewise, precautions should be taken to prevent hazardous overloads due
to deceleration, acceleration or shock forces. Angle of lift with rope or chain never to be less than 45
from horizontal.

Storage
Caution:
Unpacking
Do not unpack until ready for use. If the motor is not put into service immediately, the motor must be
stored in a clean, dry and warm location. Several precautionary steps must be performed to avoid motor
damage during storage.
Oil lubricated motors are shipped without oil. As soon as the motor is received, the bearing oil
reservoir should be filled to the indicated level with the proper lubrication oil (see Section 4
Constant Level Oiler). To avoid motor damage, do not rotate the shaft until you have filled the
oil reservoirs to the proper level with recommended lubricant.
1. The motor should be inspected periodically and the insulation resistance checked and recorded
monthly (see Checking Insulation Resistance in section 3). If there is a significant change in insulation
resistance, it should be investigated and corrective action should be taken. Consult your local Baldor
District office for additional data.
2. Do not lubricate bearings during storage. Duty Master antifriction bearing motors are shipped with
the proper amount of grease in each bearing.
3. At 30 day intervals, remove only enough packing to expose the shaft and remove the shaft shipping
brace, rotate the shaft (by hand) 10 to 15 revolutions. This distributes the grease, preventing bearing
corrosion due to condensation, or to the presence of contaminating gases near the motor. After
rotating the shaft replace protective packing and shaft shipping brace.
4. If the storage location is cold, damp or humid, the motor windings must be protected from moisture.
This can be done by applying power to the motors space heater (if available) while the motor is in
storage. If space heaters are not installed, the motor can be kept warm by placing several 100 or 150
watt electric lamps inside the enclosure and connect them to a power source.
5. For grease lubricated bearings, if the motor is stored and directly exposed to weather conditions, it is
important that the bearing cavity be inspected for the presence of water at the grease drain. If the
cavity is contaminated with water, the motor must be disassembled, grease removed from the
bearing(s) and housing(s) and bearing(s) inspected for corrosion. If corrosion is present, the
bearing(s) must be replaced. If there is no corrosion, repack the bearing(s) / housing(s) with grease
as instructed in Section 3.
6. Duty Master motors with oil lubricated sleeve bearings are tested using an oil containing a rust
inhibitor. This additive protects the bearings and associated structural parts from rust and corrosion.
Prior to shipment the oil is drained. A thin film of oil remains on the vital parts providing short term
temporary rust protection.
As soon as the motor has been received, the bearing oil reservoir should be filled to the required oil
level and with the proper oil lubrication. (See Section 3 Bearing Lubrication for proper type).
Each Baldor motor is packaged for ease of handling and to prevent entry of contaminants.
1. To avoid condensation inside the motor, do not unpack until the motor has reached room temperature.
(Room temperature is the temperature of the room in which it will be installed).
The packing provides insulation from temperature changes during transportation.
2. When the motor has reached room temperature, carefully remove the motor from packaging.
Lifting provisions are provided as eyebolts or cast lifting lugs located on top of the motor.
Place a lifting hook in each of the lifting means provided and carefully lift the motor from its packing,
see Figure 1-1. Use a hoist with adequate capacity. Use spreader bars as required to ensure that lift
chains/cables do not pull at an angle and prevent damage to lifting eyes or motor hoods.

Installation & Operation
Overview
Location
Foundation
MN420
Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and practices. When
other devices are coupled to the motor shaft, be sure to install protective devices to prevent future
accidents. Some protective devices include, coupling, belt guard, chain guard, shaft covers etc. These
protect against accidental contact with moving parts. Machinery that is accessible to personnel should
provide further protection in the form of guard rails, screening, warning signs etc.
1. If the motor has been in storage for an extended period or had been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, check the insulation resistance of the stator winding (see Checking Insulation Resistance
in section 3).
2. Examine the motor nameplate data to make sure it agrees with the power circuit to which it will be
connected. The motor is guaranteed to operate successfully at line frequency not more than 5%, and
line voltage not more than 10%, above or below the nameplate ratings, or a combined variation of
voltage and frequency of not more than 10% above or below nameplate ratings. Efficiency, power
factor and current may vary from nameplate data.
3. Check to make sure that direction of motor rotation is corrected for the intended application.
It is important that motors be installed in locations that are compatible with motor enclosure and ambient
conditions. Improper selection of the motor enclosure and ambient conditions can lead to reduced
operating life of the motor. The motor must be located in an environment that satisfies local codes. For
locations outside the USA., compliance with IEC requirements and other regulatory agencies are
required. The following additional considerations should also govern its location:
For open and protected motors the installation should be in a location that provides adequate space for
air circulation of the external cooling fan. Exposure to high ambient temperatures, humidity and
atmospheric contamination should be avoided. Acids, alkalis and gases also have detrimental effects on
electrical machinery. The location of installation should be accessible for routine maintenance and
inspection.
If the room is not large enough to have natural ventilation, some external source of forced and filtered air
will be necessary. The room should be such that the heat developed during operation can escape and will
not be recirculated over the equipment.
Permanent handling equipment to facilitate major service and repair without complete disassembly of the
individual units should be considered.
If the motor must be moved or additional handling or shipment of motor be required, be certain to block
the shaft as it was blocked for shipment by the factory. Blocking the shaft, limits the rotor movement both
axially and radially which prevents damage to the bearings.
Hazardous Locations are those where there is a risk of ignition or explosion due to the presence of
combustible gases, vapors, dust, fibers, or flyings. Facilities requiring special equipment for hazardous
locations are typically classified in accordance with local requirements. In the US market, guidance is
provided by the National Electric Code.
EMC Compliance Statement for European Union
The motors described in this instruction manual are designed to comply 2004/108/EC . These motors are
commercial in design and not intended for residential use.
The dimensions for mounting are shown on the outline drawing supplied with the motor software and
should be referred to prior to planning of the foundation.
Large motors require a concrete foundation. The foundation should consist preferably of solid concrete
walls or piers and should be carried down far enough to rest on a solid sub base. This base should be
sufficient stiffness to prevent vibration and to insure long, trouble free operation. If necessary, a consulting
engineer, who is familiar with foundation design, should design and supervise its construction.
If the foundation is to be steel girders instead of concrete, the girders should be well braced and
supported by adequate columns to prevent vibration due to resonance. The natural frequencies of the
motor and supporting structure must be at least 20% away from the speed of rotation and twice the speed
of rotation and multiples of the power line frequency.
The size of the foundation is determined by the weight, size and speed of the equipment and by the type
and condition of the underlying soil. The width and length of the foundation are usually made to extend at
least 6 inches (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides of the base. Increased width and weight are
necessary for operation at higher speeds and for foundations that project above the floor level to give
stability against rocking and resonant vibration.
Large motors are not rigid or self supporting, and should be uniformly supported. Therefore, when set on
the foundation or base, adequate support should be provided by leveling plates and shims between the
frame and the foundation, at points of loading; Le., under the frame feet, and intersection points of the
beams as well as under long, unsupported sections of the base. The number of shims should be kept to a
minimum. A few thick ones are preferred over many thin ones.
Installation & Operation 2-1
A 1 inch (25mm) space should be allowed between the base and foundation for grouting. The concrete
surface should be roughed to provide a good bonding surface. The lateral clearance for positioning the
base can be made by providing a space around the hold down bolts, that are secured head down to an
anchoring washer, Figure 2-1. A sleeve may be used to form the hole when poring the foundation around
the bolt for the length between the anchoring washer and the top surface of the concrete foundation.
The size and depth of the hole will depend upon the size of the motor and accuracy of the hole location.
A template can be used to locate the hold down bolts. The bolts can be locked in place later, by filling the
clearance hole with grout.

Pre Installation Checks The assurance of successful startup depends upon the use of good handling, inspection,
and installation practices.

Before shipment, every motor is given a running test to check operation. Although complete factory tests
have been made, motors should be checked for any change resulting from improper handling during
shipment, storage, installation or by an unsatisfactory foundation. Failure to check or do the necessary
work as mentioned above, could cause misalignment resulting in vibration and premature bearing failure.
Before the motor is checked for alignment, remove all shipping blocks and supports installed at the
factory. The shaft should turn over freely. The degree of accuracy required in the alignment depends on
the rated speed of the machine. The greater the speed, the greater the care and accuracy necessary in
the alignment.
The motor must be level to maintain the proper oil level. Check the driven equipment to make sure that
the motor will be coupled to a level shaft. If necessary, level it up before coupling.
Doweling & Bolting After proper alignment is verified, dowel pins should be inserted through the motor feet into the
foundation. This will maintain the correct motor position should motor removal be required. (Baldor motors
are designed for doweling.)
1. Drill dowel holes in diagonally opposite motor feet in the locations provided.
2. Drill corresponding holes in the foundation.
3. Ream all holes.
4. Install proper fitting dowels.
5. Mounting bolts must be carefully tightened to prevent changes in alignment. Use a flat washer and
lock washer under each nut or bolt head to hold the motor feet secure. Flanged nuts or bolts may be
used as an alternative to washers.
Soft foot is a condition in which one or more of the motor feet do not rest squarely on the base.
This condition causes distortion of the motor frame once the mounting bolts are tightened and can
lead to elevated vibration levels. Prior to alignment, the following procedure should be followed to
minimize the effects of soft foot.
a. With the motor mounted on the base use a dial indicator to measure the soft foot deflection at
each mounting location.
b. With all feet firmly torqued to 120 ftlbs loosen and tighten each foot measuring the total foot
deflection. The total foot deflection should not exceed 2.00 mils.
c. If the foot deflection exceeds 2.00 mils shim foot as necessary to reduce deflection.
6. Tighten all motor mounting bolts to the identical recommended initial torque value.
7. Place a dial indicator to read vertical displacement on the top of a motor foot.
8. Loosen the mounting bolt in that foot and record the amount of deflection shown by the dial indicator.
9. Foot deflection should be limited to 0.0010.002. If deflection exceeds this level, proceed to step
10. If it does not, proceed to step 11.
10. Place an amount of shims that corresponds to the measured deflection under the foot.
11. Retighten the bolt and repeat the procedure on the remaining motor feet.
2-2 Installation & Operation
MN420
Coupling
1. In preparation for making the coupling alignment, wash off the rust protective slushing compound on
the motor shaft and factory installed couplings with solvent. On sleeve bearing motors. remove the
rust preventative from the shaft to expose the magnetic center and rotor float scribe lines.
Fill oil sumps with proper oil to the proper level.
2. The couplings should be heated for proper mounting. Do not press or drive it onto the shaft.
The shaft extension key length should be sized per Figure 2-2.

L= Key Length
A= Coupling Hub Length
B= Keyway Length

3. Motors supplied with sleeve bearings.

The drive end shaft Extension is scribed with three lines indicating the magnetic center line and rotor
end float limits. A single scribe line, magnetic center only is used in cases where the float extreme
scribe lines would interfere with a shaft shoulder or extension keyway.
The magnetic center scribe line is filled with light colored paint and covered with masking tape prior to
coating with rust protection. The distance from the magnetic center scribe line to the reference
surface is indicated on a name plate attached to the motor frame. The magnetic center is within +0.06
in. (+1.5 mm) of the rotor float mechanical center. Rotor end float is 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) minimum.
Sleeve bearing motors are not designed to withstand external axial thrust. A limited axial float
coupling should be used. Total end float of the coupling should not exceed 0.19 inch (4.8 mm) (.09
inch. +2.3 mm).
The motor axial placement should be established by locating the shaft on its magnetic center and
spaced from the driven equipment as recommended by the coupling manufacturer.
4. After the motor is properly positioned for axial end play and with the hold down bolts snug but not
tightened prepare for the coupling alignment. Mount the coupling hubs, but do not engage the
coupling.
Coupling Alignment
There are a number of procedures to properly align the motor to the driven equipment. The end result
depends upon the accuracy of the parts in roundness, flatness, runout of the reference surfaces, rigidity
of the mounting and the skill of the setup man. The motor base surfaces must be flat and parallel to the
shafts. Make allowance for inserting shims under the motor to make the elevation adjustment.
The shims size should be the full length of the motor foot pad, they should be flat, and free from burrs.
Insert the shims carefully to maintain the foot plane and to avoid bending or twisting the motor frame. For
a poor mounting surface, it may be necessary to machine a shim to compensate for the slope or surface
irregularity. To minimize soft stacking, use the thickest shim stock combination with the fewest shims.
A preliminary line up can be made with feeler gauge by measuring at top, bottom and sides between
faces of the hubs. Angular alignment is satisfactory when there is no more than .002 in. (0.05 mm)
difference between all sides of the hubs. Parallel alignment check can be made with a straight edge, or
dial indicator, to determine if both hubs are parallel within 0.002 in. (0.05 mm). During shimming use
shims that are as thick as possible to avoid a sponginess of an excessive number of layers.
Coupling Alignment Procedure
For more accurate alignment, refer to the manual for the driven equipment. When alignment is complete,
tighten the motor and driven equipment hold down bolts and recheck alignment. The feet must be
tightened uniformly. Ensure the feet are on the same plane by measuring the feet spring back when a bolt
is loosened. It should not exceed 0.002 inch (0.050 mm) at any foot as the others remain tight. Repeat
with two adjacent bolts loose. The shaft spring back should not exceed 0.001 inch (0.025 mm).
In some cases it may be necessary to make a hot alignment check to compensate for thermal expansion.
A compensating offset alignment should be made cold. The unit may run rough until the equipment
temperatures stabilize.
If for any reason alignment does not fall within limits, contact your local Baldor District Office.
MN420
Grouting
Grout should be used, but should not be applied until all alignment and leveling have been completed,
and the set is running satisfactorily from the bearing noise, temperature and vibration standpoint after
the 4 hour run in test. A good quality commercial non shrinking type of grouting compound should be
used. A cement/sand ratio of 1:1 is recommended. Grout should be used with a minimum quantity of
water to give a stiff mix. The roughened concrete surface should be washed to remove the dust and loose
particles. Grouting should be applied to a wet surface but to assure a good bond, there must be no
puddles of water or contamination from oil or grease. Prepare only the amount that can be handled within
set time and without adding water to the original mix. The grouting should be done quickly and
continuously. Tamp in place and vent the pockets to assure a solid casting, it is suggested that the motor
remain idle while the grout is hardening. At least 48 hours curing timed is desirable for that grout to
develop adequate strength before operating this set, or any nearby large equipment which could create a
vibration.
Lubrication
The lubrication system should be checked in preparation for rotating the shaft during the alignment
operation.
Anti Friction Bearings (Grease Lubricated)
Bearing chambers are packed with grease during assembly, and do not normally need additional grease
at time of installation, unless the unit has been in storage and installation for 6 months or longer.
Lubricant must be added per Section 3, Maintenance.
Sleeve Bearing (Oil Lubricated)
Caution:
Caution:
Oil lubricated motors are shipped without oil. As soon as the motor is received, the bearing oil
reservoir should be filled to the indicated level with the proper lubrication oil (see Section 4 Oil
Rite Oiler). To avoid motor damage, do not rotate the shaft until you have filled the oil reservoirs
to the proper level with recommended lubricant.
Lubricating oils for sleeve bearing motors should be selected as follows:
1. Viscosity in SUS (centistokes) at 100F. (37.8C):
Table 21

Ambient Temperature Range**
1200 RPM or Less
Over 1200 RPM

20 to 50F (30C to 10C)
150 (32 cSt)
90 SUS (18cSt)
*
For higher temperatures, oil coolers should be used.
** For lower temperatures, heaters should be used to assure adequately high starting temperature.
2. Pour Point: Below minimum starting temperature.
For motors equipped with circulating oil pump and adjustable needle valve, valve must be
adjusted or flooding of oil sump may occur. Disconnect valve and adjust flow rate for 0.10 GPM
flow (or as specified on data sheet).
3. Quality: Use a good grade of turbine type oil with rust, foam and oxidation inhibitors. Avoid automotive
oils or additives other than those specifically recommended by the oil manufacturer.
To fill sleeve bearing motor oil reservoirs on motors not equipped with constant level oilers, be sure
that drain plugs are in place and secure and fill through filler cap until oil level shows at top line
marked on oil gauge. Oil level must never be below bottom line marked on oil gauge. For motors with
constant level oilers, refer to the instructions. See Accessories Section 4.
Electrical Connection
WARNING:
Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before
you ensure that all grounding instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause
serious or fatal injury. National Electrical Code and Local codes must be carefully followed.
The user must select a motor starter and overcurrent protection suitable for this motor and its application.
Consult motor starter application data as well as the National Electric Code and/or other applicable local
codes.
A conduit box may be provided for the power lines to the stator and other conduit boxes for all other
electrical connections. Tapped holes are provided for grounding.
MN420
Grounding Failure to properly ground the motor may cause electrical shock hazard to personnel. Do not attach
ground lead to motor foot bolt. In the USA consult the National Electrical Code, Article 430 for information
on grounding of motors and generators, and Article 250 for general information on grounding. In making
the ground connection, the installer should make certain that there is a solid and permanent metallic
connection between the ground point, the motor or generator terminal housing, and the motor or
generator frame. In nonUSA locations consult the appropriate national or local code applicable.
All large motors should be grounded with the grounding conductor equipped with a brazed copper
terminal, or with a suitable solderless terminal fastened to the motor. Soldered terminals should not be
used. A washer should be used between bolt head and terminal lug. The other end should be fastened
with suitable clamps or terminals to rigid metallic conduit or to the nearest available ground. Ground
conductor size should be in accordance with the following National Electrical Code Table 250122.
Installation restrictions are listed in Section 250120.

Caution:
MN420
The space heaters are designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature stated
on the nameplate. If the marked ambient and/or voltage are exceeded this maximum surface
temperature can be exceeded and can damage the motor windings. If applied in a division 2 or
zone 2 environment this excessive temperature may cause ignition of hazardous materials.
WARNING:
This equipment is at line voltage when AC power is connected. Disconnect and lockout all
ungrounded conductors of the ac power line before proceeding. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
PreOperation Check Be sure that all power to motor and accessories is off. Be sure the motor shaft is disconnected
from the load and will not cause mechanical rotation of the motor shaft.
1. Verify that Hold Down bolts are tightened to the proper torque.
2. If the motor has been idle for a long period of time after installation, check insulation resistance.
3. Check the incoming power to be sure that line voltage, frequency and phase are correct for the motor
(refer to the motor nameplate).
4. Inspect all electrical connections for proper termination, clearance, mechanical strength and electrical
continuity.
5. Be sure all shipping materials and braces (if used) are removed from motor shaft.
6. Ensure alignment is correct and motor is properly lubricated.
a. On machines supplied with oil lubricated bearings inspect lubrication system to insure that oil
reservoirs have been filled to the proper level with correct oil. Do not overfill oil reservoirs.
b. Motors operating with a forced lubrication system must have the forced lubrication system
operating before starting the motor.
7. Manually rotate the motor shaft to ensure that it rotates freely.
Caution:
When driven equipment may be damaged by incorrect rotation direction, uncouple the motor from
the load and check motor rotation direction during initial start and be sure rotation is correct.
8. When the driven machine is likely to be damaged by the wrong direction of rotation, it is best to
uncouple the motor from its load during the check for rotation and/or during the initial start.
Some motors are designed for a single direction of rotation as indicated by nameplates. Running
those units in the wrong direction will reduce airflow causing overheating. Check to see that both the
motor and driven equipment are operating in the correct direction of rotation. If it is necessary to
change rotation, disconnect and lockout all input power and interchange any two input power phases.
9. Replace all panels and covers.
10. Check to see that coupling guards and other protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating air
into the motor and exhaust openings.
First Time Uncoupled StartUp

Read each of the steps in the following procedure over thoroughly, so that each is fully understood, before
attempting to start the motor.
1. Make the initial start by following the regular sequence of starting operations in the control
instructions.
2. After starting, check that the motor is running smoothly. If the motor has excessive vibration, shut
down immediately and investigate. Check for coupling and key unbalance, rusty bearing, lack of
lubrication, foot planarity, structural resonance.
3. Check bearing temperatures frequently. Bearing temperature should not exceed 185F (85C).
Likewise the rate of temperature rise should not be excessive. At initial start, the bearing temperature
rateofrise is more indicative of trouble than overall temperature for a minimum of two hours, if at
any time the rate of rise curve appears too steep, stop the motor immediately and recheck its
alignment.
4. Ensure that the protective controls are functioning properly before any prolonged operation.
5. Run the motor for at least two hours.
MN420
Coupled Startup This procedure assumes a coupled start up. Also, that the first time start up procedure was
successful. Read and fully understand each of the steps in the following procedure before attempting to
start the motor.
1. Disconnect and lockout the power source. Ensure no power is applied to the motor.
2. After a successful uncoupled start, assemble the coupling and lubricate with the manufacturers
recommended lubricant. Check to see that the coupling is not binding.
3. Verify the motor shaft is on its magnetic center.
4. Verify coupling axial movement is within the bearing float limit.
5. Check to see that coupling guards and other protective enclosures are not blocking the ventilating air
over the motor and exhaust openings.
6. Try no load coupled startup, repeating steps 1 to 5 of the First Time Uncoupled Startup
procedure.
7. Verify the driven equipment is not transmitting vibration back to the motor through the coupling or base.
8. Inspect the motor carefully. Make the initial start by following the regular sequence of starting
operations in the control instructions.
9. After starting, check that the motor is running smoothly. If the motor shows excessive vibration, shut
down immediately and investigate. Check for coupling and key unbalance, lack of lubrication, foot
planarity and structural resonance.
10. Check vibration at the bearing housing. Motor vibration must not exceed the limits given in Table 23.
Vibration severity and conversion of the above limits to velocity or acceleration can be determined by
using the vibration nomograph in Figure 2-3. Nomograph shows accepted industry vibration levels.
11. Verify all panels and covers are securely in place.
12. Verify that coupling guards are properly installed and protective enclosures are not blocking the
ventilating air into the motor and exhaust openings.
13. In addition, observe the following before attempted startup of Belted, CFace/D Flange and Sleeve
bearing motors:
a. For belted duty, ensure motor is intended for belted service and that the belted application data
has been verified. Also be aware that some belted duty motors are built with bearings that are
not suited for nonbelted applications.
b. Due to their size, above NEMA CFace and DFlange motors are supplied with mounting feet
and are not designed to be supported by the CFace or DFlange alone.
c. Sleeve bearing motors are intended for horizontal mounting only.
Contact your local Baldor District Office for any questions concerning this installation before power is
applied to the motor.
Jogging and Repeated Starts

Caution:
MN420
Repeated starts and/or jogs can greatly reduce the life of an induction motor.
Repeated starts and/or jogs can greatly reduce the life of an induction motor. If it is necessary to
repeatedly start or jog a motor, check the application with your local Baldor District office.
At ambient temperature, the motor is normally capable of making two starts in succession and coasting to
rest between starts.
The motor is also capable of making one start at its rated load operation temperature. For cooling time
required before additional starts can be made consult your local Baldor District office or the motor starting
nameplate if one is provided.
If more starts than defined above are attempted in shorter period of time, severe damage to the motor
electrical windings and rotor may result.
The starting conditions listed above apply only if the inertia of the connected load, the load torque during
acceleration, the applied voltage, and the starting method are those for which the motor was designed.
For starting situations not covered here, consult your local Baldor District office before proceeding.
Refer also to the motor nameplate which may list starting conditions.

Hazardous Locations
Hazardous locations are those where there is a risk of ignition or explosion due to the presence of
combustible gases, vapors, dust, fibers or flyings.
Selection Facilities requiring special equipment for hazardous locations are typically classified in accordance with
local requirements. In the US market, guidance is provided by the National Electric Code. In
international hazardous location areas, guidance for gas / vapor / mist classification is given in
IEC6007914, or for dust in IEC6124114. This classification process lets the installer know what
equipment is suitable for installation in that environment, and identifies what the maximum safe
temperature or temperature class is required. It is the customer or users responsibility to determine the
area classification and select proper equipment.
Areas are classified with respect to risk and exposure to the hazard. In the US market, areas are
typically classified as follows Class, Division, Group and Temperature Class. In some newer installations
in the US and in most international markets, areas are classified in Zones.
Protection Concepts
Class I Division 1 / Zone 1 [Equipment Group I (mining) or II (surface), Equipment Protection Level
(EPL) Gb, Mb ]
Baldor offers a range of motors suitable for installation in a Division 1 or Zone 1 environment. These
motors are known as explosion proof or flameproof.
Motors that are explosion proof or flameproof use specially machined flameproof joints between the end
bell or bracket and the frame, as well as along the rotating shaft and at connection box covers and
entries. The fit of these flameproof joints are designed to contain the combustion or quench the flame of
an explosive gas atmosphere prior to it exiting the motor. These flameproof joints have lengths and
widths selected and tested based on the gas group present in the atmosphere. BaldorSReliance motors
are typically designed to meet Class I (Division 1) Group C and D (explosion proof) or Ex d IIB
(flameproof).
An application note regarding equipment applied in accordance with the US National Electric Code (NFPA
702008) according to Article 500.8(C) Marking, sub clause (2) in the fine print note, it is noted that
Equipment not marked to indicate a division is suitable for both Division 1 and Division 2 locations. These
motors are not gas tight. To the contrary, this protection concept assumes that due to the normal heating
and cooling cycle of motor operation that any gas present will be drawn into the motor. Since flameproof
or explosion proof motors are designed to contain the combustion and extinguish any flame transmission,
for this protection concept, only external surface temperatures are of concern. Thermal limiting devices
such as thermostats, thermistors or RTDs may be provided on these motors to limit the external surface
temperature during overload conditions.
If thermostats are provided as a condition of certification, it is the installers responsibility to make sure
that these devices are properly connected to a suitable switching device. The ATEX directive requires
that motor shutdown on thermal trip be accomplished without an intermediate software command. Where
intermediate circuitry is involved the circuit shall fall within the scope of a safety, controlling and regulating
device as defined in article 1(2) of European Directive 94/9/EC, and shall be covered by an appropriate
EC Type Examination Certificate.
MN420
Flameproof motors, internationally referred to as Ex d use a protection concept similar to that used in
Class I Division 1 motors, with minor differences in the flameproof joints and cable entry designs.
Flameproof and explosion proof motors are both type tested. Representative motors are connected to a
reference gas and ignited in laboratory conditions to verify that the flame is not transmitted outside the
motor enclosure and to determine the maximum internal pressure encountered.
Explosion proof and Flame proof motors shipped without a conduit box require use of a certified box of
suitable dimensions and that is appropriate for the classification. Openings in connection boxes must be
closed with suitably certified and dimensioned device.
Class I Division 2 / Zone 2 Ex nA, [Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Gc ]
This protection concept relies on having no sources of ignition present such as arcing parts or hot
surfaces. For this protection concept, internal temperatures as well as external temperatures are
considered. In many cases, the internal temperatures are higher than the external temperatures and
therefore become the limiting factor in determination of temperature code designation. In these
applications, it is very important to use a motor that has been evaluated thermally for use with an inverter
or converter, if variable speed operation is desired. Thermostats used for Class I Division 2 and Ex nA
motors are used to protect the motor only. For motors using flying lead construction, it is important to use
connection lugs and insulate with heat shrink tubing or a double wrap of insulation grade electrical tape to
avoid the risk of spark or ignition.
Class II Division 1 / Zone 21 [Equipment Group III, Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Db ]
This area classification is one where the risk of ignitable concentrations of dust is present at all or some of
the time. The protection concepts used for Class II Division 1 is similar to flamepath, except with
additional dust exclusion paths designed for the rotating shaft. In the international designations, this
concept is referred to as dust ignition proof or Ex tD. External surface temperature remains the limiting
factor. Thermal limiting devices such as thermostats, thermistors or RTDs may be provided on these
motors to limit the external surface temperature during overload conditions. If thermostats are provided
as a condition of certification, it is the installers responsibility to make sure that these devices are
properly connected to a suitable switching device.
Note: In the North American area classification system, Class III exists for fibers and flyings.
In the IEC designation, both dusts and flyings are absorbed into Group III.
Class II Division 2 / Zone 22 [Equipment Group III, Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Dc ]
This area classification is one where the risk of exposure to ignitable concentrations of dust are not likely
to occur under normal operating conditions and relies heavily on the housekeeping practices within the
installation.
Sine Wave Power Operation for Division 1 or 2 and Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 Hazardous
Location.
These motors are designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature (or TCode) stated
on the nameplate. Failure to operate the motor properly can cause this maximum surface temperature to
be exceeded. If applied in a Division 1 or 2 / Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 environment, this excessive
temperature may cause ignition of hazardous materials. Operating the motor at any of the following
conditions can cause the marked surface temperature to be exceeded.
1. Motor load exceeding service factor nameplate value
2. Ambient temperatures above nameplate value
3. Voltages above or below nameplate value
4. Unbalanced voltages
5. Loss of proper ventilation
6. Altitude above 3300 feet / 1000 meters
7. Severe duty cycles of repeated starts
8. Motor stall
9. Motor reversing
10. Single phase operation of polyphase equipment
11. Variable frequency operation
Variable Frequency Power Operation for Division 1 or 2 and Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22
Hazardous Location (motors with maximum surface temperature listed on the nameplate).
Only motors with nameplates marked for use on inverter (variable frequency) power, and labeled for
specific hazardous areas may be used in those hazardous areas on inverter power. The motor is
designed to operate at or below the maximum surface temperature (or TCode) stated on the nameplate.
Failure to operate the motor properly can cause this maximum surface temperature to be exceeded.
MN420
If applied in a Division 1 or 2 / Zone 1 or 2 and Zone 21 or 22 environment, this excessive temperature

may cause ignition of hazardous materials. Operating the motor at any of the following conditions can
cause the marked surface temperature to be exceeded.
1. Motor load exceeding service factor nameplate value
2. Ambient temperature above nameplate value
3. Voltage (at each operating frequency) above or below rated nameplate value
4. Unbalanced voltages
5. Loss of proper ventilation
6. Operation outside of the nameplate speed / frequency range
7. Altitudes above 3300 feet / 1000 meters
8. Single phase operation of polyphase equipment
9. Unstable current wave forms
10. Lower than name plate minimum carrier frequency
Thermal Limiting
Thermal limiting devices are temperature sensing control components installed inside the motor to limit
the internal temperature of the motor frame by interrupting the circuit of the holding coil of the magnetic
switch or contactor. They are required for most Division 1 and Zone 1 applications. For Division 2 or
Zone 2 applications, motors should be selected that preclude running temperatures from exceeding the
ignition temperatures for the designated hazardous material. In Division 2 or Zone 2 classified locations,
thermal limiting devices should only be used for winding protection and not considered for limiting all
internal motor temperatures to specific ignition temperatures.
Equipotential Bonding and Shaft Current Reduction
Larger motors (ie WP construction) may require proper bonding between motor enclosures and covers to
avoid the risk of stray currents during start up. Fastening methods and bonding straps must not be modified.
Bearing currents can exist in some motors for both linefed and inverterfed applications. Larger linefed
motors may require at least one insulated bearing to prevent a flow of current through the bearings. Do not
defeat such insulation whether the motor is linefed or inverterfed applications. Inverterfed motors may
require additional bearing insulation or even a shaft brush. Do not defeat such features. When the motor and
the coupled load are not on a common conductive baseplate, it may also be necessary to electrically bond
together the stationary parts of the motor and the coupled equipment.
Repair of Motors used in Hazardous Locations

Repair of hazardous certified motors requires additional information, skill, and care. It is the customers
responsibility to select service shops with proper qualifications to repair hazardous location motors.
Contact the manufacture for additional repair details. Use only original manufacturers parts.
Repair of Explosion Proof or Flame Proof Motors Class I Division 1 and Zone 1
In the North American market, recertification programs are offered by Underwriters Laboratories and
Canadian Standards Association which allow authorized service shops to mark the rebuilt motors as
certified. In the international markets using IEC based requirements, repair should be undertaken only
after consulting IEC6007919 Explosive AtmospheresPart 19 Equipment repair, overhaul and
reclamation. If use of a certified repair facility is desired, consult the IECEX Repair Scheme at
http://www.iecex.com/service_facilities.htm
Explosion proof and flameproof motors achieve their safety based on the mechanical construction
flameproof joints and bearing clearance, and the electrical design including any thermal limiting devices. If
it is necessary to repair a flameproof or explosion proof motor, it is critical that the mechanical flameproof
joints be maintained. Consult Baldor Electric Company for flameproof joint construction details. Use only
BaldorSReliance supplied parts. Baldor does not recommend reclamation of parts. Since this protection
method also relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any rewinding uses the original
electrical designs, including any thermal protection that may be present.
Repair of Dust Ignition Proof Motors Class II Division 1 and 2, Zone 21 and 22.
For Dust Ignition Proof, proper sealing is required. Do not modify the motor construction to add any
additional opening, and ensure that proper sealing is maintained in the connection box and at the shaft
seal. Since this protection method also relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any
rewinding uses the original electrical designs, including any thermal protection that may be present
Repair of Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 motors
For Division 2 and Zone 2, the internal and external temperatures are of concern. Since this protection
method also relies on temperature being maintained, make sure that any rewinding uses the original
electrical designs, including any thermal protection that may be present. Use only Baldor replacement
thermostats, if provided.

Section 3
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
WARNING:
High Voltage may be present even when the machine is not rotating. Ensure that power has been
disconnected before touching the motor or any of its components. Electrical shock can cause
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING:
Caution:
For Vertical Shaft Motors, refer to Section 5 for Maintenance procedures and intervals.
Horizontal Shaft Motors
There are two inspection periods which are important to the proper operation and maintenance of your
Baldor motor.
These occur every 3 months (or 500 operating hours which ever comes first) and every six months,
respectively, in addition, the following should always be observed.
S Provide adequate ventilation.
S Keep air and exhaust openings clean and free of obstructions.
S Avoid sharp blows and excessive axial thrust loads on the output shaft.
S Maintain proper lubricant level (check weekly on oil lubricated units).
Duty Master Large AC Motors when properly applied, are very easy to maintain. Since clearances and
fits are precisely machined, there are no periodic mechanical adjustments to make. Like any precision
machine, periodic inspection and simple routine maintenance will prolong your motors life and help
locate potentially damaging conditions before they become problems. The minimal time spent performing
these simple procedures cannot begin to compare with the cost of lost productivity and time consuming
major repairs incurred through neglect of routine inspection and maintenance.
Periodic Inspection Inspections are important to the proper operation and maintenance of a motor.
3 months (or 500 operating hours whichever comes first).
1. Listen for any abnormal noises and check cause immediately.
2. Check for any vibration and check cause immediately if excessive vibration is found.
3. Check voltage and frequency variations. Unbalanced voltage or single phase operation of poly phase
motors will cause excessive heating and ultimately failure. Only a slight unbalance of voltage applied
to a poly phase motor will cause large unbalance currents and result in overheating.
4. Check power supply total harmonic distortion to avoid overheating.
5. Periodic checks of phase, voltage, frequency, and power consumption of an operating motor are
recommended. These checks can also provide an excellent indication of the load from the driven
equipment. Comparisons of this data with previous no load and full load power demands will give an
indication of the performance of the driven machine.
6. Check to see that air filters, when used, are in place and clean.
7. Check all air passages and ensure that they are not blocked or clogged.
8. Check for proper lubrication. For sleeve bearing motors check oil level. The oil level must be at the
midpoint of sight gauge when the motor is at rest and in operation.
9. When provided, check that constant level oilers have oil in them.
Check that cap on oiler is screwed on tightly. Make sure the oil is clean.
10. Check bearing temperature rise.
12. Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight and corrosion free.
13. Check for frayed interconnecting wires, especially at points where it contacts the motor frame.
14. Verify that all covers and guards are in place and fasteners are properly torqued.
These checks can also provide an excellent indication of the load from the driven equipment.
SemiAnnual Maintenance
1. Inspect and clean rotor ends, windings and fan blades (Open Motors only).
2. Check electrical connections for tightness and absence of corrosion.
MN420
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 3-1
Bearing Lubrication
Depending on the application and rating, the horizontal motor is equipped with either antifriction or
sleeve type bearings. When properly cared for (ie., inspection and lubrication) bearings will provide years
of uninterrupted service. Use one of the following lubrication procedures, depending on the type of
bearings with which your motor is equipped.
AntiFriction Bearing (Grease Lubricated)

This motor has been properly lubricated at the time of manufacture and it is not necessary to lubricate at
time of installation. When the motor has been in storage for a period of six months or more, lubricate
before starting.
Lubrication of antifriction bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule. The
Recommended Lubrication Interval should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate antifriction bearings should be fresh
and free from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the grease inlet area of the
motor to prevent grease contamination.
The relubrication periods shown in Table 3-2 are offered as a guide for different speeds, bearing types,
operating time and service conditions (Table 3-1).
Recommended Lubricant
Refer to motor nameplate for recommended lubricant. If none is shown, the recommended lubricant is
Mobil Polyrex EM. The following is a list of alternate lubricants.

Lubrication Procedure
Antifriction bearings may be lubricated with the motor running or stationary. (Stationary with the motor
warm is recommended.)
1. Relubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is recommended.
If lubrication must be done with motor running, stay clear of rotating parts and electrical circuits.
2. Locate the grease inlet, clean the area and replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting, if the motor is
not equipped with grease fittings.
3. Remove relief plug. If grease is caked around the plug, clean with a wooden stick or suitable tool, if
severe caking appears at the plug, run the motor until the bearing housing is warm, permitting a free
flow of grease through the housing.
4. Locate the motor nameplate. Find the lubricant recommended type and volume.
(Table 3-3 is for reference only, Nameplate values should always be used).
5. Add the recommended volume of the recommended lubricant using a hand operated grease gun.
6. Run the motor for 1/2 hour with relief plug removed.
7. Replace the pipe plugs and wipe off excess grease.
Replacement Bearings
Your maintenance program will not be complete without including spare bearings.
Remember that the bearing is a wearable component and therefore must eventually be replaced.
To ensure that you are able to maintain original operation we recommend the purchase of spares directly
from Baldor.
All bearings used in BaldorSReliance motors are subject to exact specifications.
Markings on the bearing do not indicate complete specifications.
AntiFriction Bearing (Oil Mist Lubricated)

The following applies to antifriction bearing motors built with provisions for oil mist lubrication. At the
time of shipment, the bearings are packed with a minimal amount of corrosion inhibiting grease. This
protects the bearings during temporary storage. However, if extended storage (greater than 3 months)
or outdoor storage is anticipated, the units should be connected to the oil mist system while in storage.
If this is not possible, an amount of grease indicated under standard conditions in the grease chart
(Table 3-2) should be added, and the shaft should be rotated several times by hand. (See extended
storage instructions in appropriate motor instruction manual.)
This grease will require removal and all lubrication channels must be cleaned at the time of connection to
the oil mist system.
Oil Mist Installation
1. Remove all grease from bearings and clean all lubrication channels. This step is necessary on
motors that are labeled Provisions for oil mist lubrication or motors built for oil mist lubrication,
but filled with grease by user. This step is not required on motors built For oil mist lubrication as
supplied by factory.
2. Remove inlet and outlet pipe plugs from bearing brackets (or extension tubes) on each end of motor.
3. Install appropriate reclassifier (Tables 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6) in top opening.
4. Connect oil recovery trap to bottom opening or leave open to act as relief.
Tables 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6 should be used to select the appropriate reclassifier based on the motor frame
size and speed. Foot mounted C & DFlange Motors as well as Vertical HP Motors use Table 3-4.
Vertical LP Motors refer to Table 3-5.

Sleeve Bearing Replacement Open Motor (ODP, WPI, WPII, TEAAC, TEWAC)
Sleeve Bearing Removal
1. Remove the end bracket top cover or grill.
2. Remove bearing temperature detectors, If the motor is so equipped.
3. Remove the bracket top cap from the bracket bottom section. There are typically four cap screws
and two dowel pins holding the cap in place. Two of these cap screws can be used as jack screws to
separate the cap and extract the dowel.
4. Note the location and arrangement of the bearing, oil rings, bearing retainers and shims outboard of
the bearing.
5. Remove the top half of the bearing. There are typically four socket head cap screws and two dowels
holding the top half in place. After the cap screws have been removed, the bearing top hall can be
removed by hand.
6. Remove the bearing retainers from both sides of the bearing. Note their orientation.
7. Using a nonmetal sling or jack, raise the shaft to take all the weight off the bearing.
8. Remove the bearing bottom half by pulling upward on the bearing oil rings and rolling it around the
shaft 180 degrees. Lift the bearing bottom half from the shaft and bracket.
Note: Shims used to limit the axial float are located on the outboard end 01 the bearing. Remove these
shims as the bearing bottom hall is being removed. Note the quantity used at each bearing.
9. Lower the shaft onto the bracket seal bore.
10. Protect the bearing sump area and bracket top cap from contamination.
Sleeve Bearing Installation
1. Remove all sealing compound from the mating surfaces of the bracket top and bottom sections.
2. Remove all nicks and burrs from the shaft bearing journals and bearing shoulder with a fine stone.
3. Drain the oil from the bracket bearing sump by removing the pipe plug on the face of the bracket.
Clean the shaft journal and seal areas with a mild solvent and lintfree cloth. Flush the bearing sump
with clean 011 or a mild solvent. Clean the threads of the drain plug and coat with a thread sealant.
Install the drain plug.
If the original bearing is to be reinstalled, apply a coating of bearing oil to the shaft journal.
Install the bearing bottom half. shims. bearing retainers and bearing top half. Note that the shims and oil
rings are properly located. Proceed to Step 10 for completion of the assembly.
Ambient Temperature
MN420
If a new bearing is being installed proceed as follows:

1. Using a clean lint free cloth. wipe bearing journal and bearing clean and dry. Shaft and bearing bore
are to be free of oil.
2. Raise the shaft as required to reassemble bearing.
3. Install the bottom half of the bearing.
4. Gently lower the shaft until it is in its final position.
5. Assemble top half of bearing.
6. Reassemble parts in reverse order of removal. Ensure dowel pins are engaged in top and bottom
halves of housing.
7. By hand (or Suitable wrench) slowly rotate the shaft 2 turns in each direction.
8. Remove bearing as previously described. Inspect bore of both bearing halves for 15 burnished
(shiny) areas. A correct burnish pattern is:
Top half of bearing no burnished areas.
Bottom half of bearing burnish area symmetric about the 6:00 position. one to two inches wide,
covering approximately 70% of the axial length of the bearing bore.
9. If the correct burnish pattern Is not found perform the following:
Using the proper bearing scraping tools and/or a nonmetallic fiber pad, remove the highly burnished
areas. Clean the bearing and shaft journal with a filmfree solvent such as denatured alcohol.
10. Repeat steps 3 8 until the correct burnish pattern is obtained.

Rotor And Stator Removal Consult your local Baldor District office for proper removal procedures.
Winding Maintenance
WARNING:
Caution:
Do not use solvents containing trichloroethane to clean interior or exterior of motor.
Damage may occur to paint and insulation systems.
2. Remove the end cover from the motor. Inspection of the winding ends and outside surfaces provides
a good indication of their general condition. To thoroughly inspect the windings, the rotor may have to
be removed.
There are numerous methods for cleanings windings. The following methods are most commonly used,
in order of preference.
Note: Before cleaning the windings check for loose blockings, evidence of damage to insulation,
distortion or movement of coils, etc. If any of these conditions exist, contact your local Baldor
District office for recommendations.
Dry Wiping This method is satisfactory when the surfaces to be cleaned are accessible and when only dry dirt is to
be removed. Use a clean dry, lint free cloth. The lint will adhere to the insulation and increase dirt
collection. Lint is particularly objectionable on high voltage insulation systems as it tends to concentrate
corona discharge.
Brushing and Suction Cleaning
Remove the dry dust and dirt by brushing with a bristle brush, followed by a vacuum suction cleaning.
Do Not Use Wire Brushes.
Blowing
WARNING:
Caution:
MN420
Use of an air jet may cause flying debris and generate particulate matter. Wear suitable skin, eye
and respiratory protection. Failure to observe this precaution may result in bodily injury.
To avoid damage to the windings do not use air pressures greater than 30 psi (200 kPa). Avoid
directing the air in such a way that the dirt will be blown into inner crevices.
Dry dirt and dust can be removed from inaccessible crevices by using a jet of low pressure compressed air.
Solvent Cleaning
WARNING:
Caution:
Caution:
Caution:
Be sure to follow all precautions and warnings stated by solvent manufacturer.

Avoid inhaling fumes.
Avoid using flammable solvents and fluids.
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by cloth wetted with solvent, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.
Typical solvents are: Atlantic Safety Solvent, Graymills Solvent, DeGreaseall, Zep and Stoddard Solvent.
Cleaning with Water and Detergent
Windings can be cleaned by hose washing or by pressure spray from a low pressure steam generator or
shop steam line.
Reconditioning (Revarnishing) Windings
If after cleaning with solvent or water and detergent, the insulation shows signs of dryness, etc., it may
be necessary to revarnish the windings. Contact your local Baldor District Office for type and proper
method of revarnishing.
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by adding a non conductive detergent to the wash water. After
washing, it is necessary to dry the windings in an oven. See Checking Insulation Resistance.
Checking Insulation Resistance
If the motor has been in storage for an extensive period or has been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, check the insulation resistance of the stator winding with an insulation resistance meter.
The minimum insulation resistance (RM) can be determined from the following formula:
RM = KV + 1
Where
RM = Minimum insulation resistance in mega ohms at 40C of the entire machine winding.
KV = Rating machine potential, in kilovolts.
For machines in good condition, insulation and resistance readings of 10 to 100 times RM are common.
If the insulation resistance is less than that calculated from the formula, the windings should be dried out
as follows:
1. Bake in an oven (preferably a circulating air oven) at a temperature not not to exceed 90C until
insulation resistance remains constant. Do not exceed this temperature.
2. With the rotor locked, apply low voltage and gradually increase current through winding (do not
exceed 50% full load amps) until winding temperature, measured with thermometer, reaches 90C.
Do not exceed this temperature.
Auxiliary Cooling
Motors supplied with separately powered cooling fans (blowers), pipe in pipe out flanges, or water
cooling connections require proper connection and operation of these features for proper motor cooling.
Refer to the motor nameplate{s) or other unitspecific supplied documentation regarding the proper
connections, air flow or water flow requirements. Operation of the motor without these auxiliary cooling
features engaged will result in motor overheating and premature motor failure.
Renewal Parts A detailed parts list, which gives Baldors recommendations for spare parts that should be stocked for
your equipment, can be ordered from the nearest Baldor District Office.
Be sure to include complete nameplate data purchase order number, serial number, model number,
rating, etc., for your equipment when ordering the spare parts list.

Winding Resistance Temperature Detector RTD

Purpose
To measure or monitor winding temperature during operation.
Principle of Operation
The RTD uses a wire wound in a flat ribbon coil. It is wound so that it is a noninductive device. Its mode
of operation is that of a linear change in resistance with temperature.
Installation
Baldor typically installs two (2) RTDs per phase, six (6) in total. Each RTD is located between the top
and bottom coils in the slot.
Customer Interconnect
RTD leads are typically supplied in a separate conduit box. Leads are tagged and connected to a
terminal block. One side of the customers bridge circuit must be grounded. This can be done either at
the motor terminal box or at the instrumentation end of the circuit. Voltages that might appear on the
circuit will then be passed to ground.
Types Available
Baldor standard is 100 ohms @ 0C. The wire element is platinum.
Standard optional available are either 120 ohms Nickel @0C, 10 ohms Copper @ 25C.
Dual element RTDs are available on special order.
Remarks
1. Can provide either continuous temperature measuring or temperature monitoring.
2. Needs a separately mounted control and power source to read temperature or to provide a means
for relay operation (for either alarm or motor shut down features. )
3. Temperature can be monitored using an ohm meter or a resistance bridge and converting the
resistance to temperature.
4. Will respond thermally to normal load and temperature changes, but not fast enough to provide
locked rotor protection.
Winding Thermostat
Purpose
To indicate1 the winding temperature has exceeded normal operating temperatures.
The thermostat uses a bimetal snap action disc to operate a set of contacts. The operating temperature
is factory selected and nonadjustable. The contacts can be wired directly to a relay to provide either
alarm indication or motor shut down features. Means of temperature measuring or monitoring cannot be
provided with this device. Refer to lead tags tor voltage and current limitations of contacts.
Installation
Baldor typically installs one thermostat per phase in motor coil head.
Leads terminate in a separate conduit box. Leads are tagged.

Suggested Bearing and Winding RTD Setting Guidelines

Most large frame AC Baldor motors with a 1.15 service factor are designed to operate below a Class B
(80C) temperature rise at rated load and are built with a Class H winding insulation system. Based on
this low temperature rise, RTD (Resistance Temperature Detectors) settings for Class B rise should be
used as a starting point. Some motors with 1.0 service factor have Class F temperature rise.
The following tables show the suggested alarm and trip settings for RTDs. Proper bearing and winding
RTD alarm and trip settings should be selected based on these tables unless otherwise specified for
specific applications.
If the driven load is found to operate well below the initial temperature settings under normal conditions,
the alarm and trip settings may be reduced so that an abnormal machine load will be identified.
The temperature limits are based on the installation of the winding RTDs imbedded in the winding as
specified by NEMA. Bearing RTDs should be installed so they are in contact with the outer race on ball
or roller bearings or in direct contact with the sleeve bearing shell.

Accessories 4-3
Bearing Thermostat (Also called Bearing Temperature Relay or Gas Bulb Switch)
Purpose
To indicate the bearing temperature has exceeded normal operating temperatures.
The device operates due to expansion of gas sealed within a sealed gas bulb element which is placed in
contact with the bearing or oil in the bearing sump. As the temperature of the bearing or oil increases, the
gas in the element expands and deflects a diaphragm in the switch. The movement of the diaphragm
activates the switch contacts. The contacts can be wired directly to a relay to provide either alarm indication
or motor shutdown.
Construction
The thermostat consists of a set of normally closed or normally open contacts operated by a diaphragm
which is connected to a gas bulb through a capillary tube.
Installation
The gas bulb must be mounted horizontally or vertically pointing downward. The gas bulb must be in contact
with the bearing housing (antifriction bearing) or submersed in the oil (sleeve bearing) for proper operation.
Bearing Thermometer
Purpose
To measure directly the temperature of the oil in the bearing sump or of the bearing outer race.
Space Heaters
WARNING:
Space Heaters operate at line voltage. Disconnect power to space heaters before performing
maintenance work on motor. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily
injury or loss of life.
Purpose
Space heaters are used to prevent condensation of moisture within the motor enclosure during shutdown
or storage periods.
Mounting
Space heaters are selected, unless otherwise ordered, using the following parameters.
1. Sheath temperature 392F (200C) nominal maximum as standard. Lower Sheath temperatures are
available.
2. Temperature rise inside of motor raised approximately 10F (6C) above ambient.
3. Assume ambient maximum of 40C

Oil Circulation System

Purpose
To provide a source of cool, clean oil to the bearings.
Description
The oil lubrication system consists of provisions for introducing oil to the bearing and drains which will
permit removal of excess oil in the sump without flooding or without letting the sump level become too
low for the oil rings to pick up oil in the event the source of oil is lost.
Oil inlet and outlets are provided with each bearing to introduce oil into the journal area. An orifice is
provided in the oil inlet pipe line to control the amount of oil introduced into the bearing. The oil outlet will
provide adequate drain without total loss of oil in the sump. The bearing is also equipped with oil rings.
Requirement
The need for a lubrication system may exist on some ratings due to temperature requirements versus
journal size and speed of the shaft. In those cases the unit would be supplied with inlet and outlet
provisions as standard for connection to a customer provided source or oil.

Constant Level Oiler

Description
Constant level oilers are used as small supplementary oil sumps which provide an additional source of oil
to replenish small amounts of oil lost by long term leakage. They provide this feature without changing
the oil level in the sump.
Operation
The device is mounted on the side of a unit and is interconnected to the bearing housing. As oil in the
bearing sump is lowered, the constant level device adds oil to a predetermined level. This level is set at
the factory and should not require additional adjustments. If the oiler is to be replaced or its operation
checked, the following procedure should be followed:
A. TRICO OILER
The oiler is to maintain the oil level in the bearing sump oil level gage between the Max and Min levels.
1. Adjust the oiler by loosening the 3 set screws on the oiler housing.
2. Raise or lower the oiler bottle to raise or lower the oil level in the bearing sump level gauge.
3. When the oil level in the bearing sump level gage is between the Max and Min levels, tighten the 3
set screws.
4. The oiler must be adjusted with the motor running.
B. OIL RITE OILER
The oiler is to maintain the oil level in the bearing sump oil level gage between the Max and Min levels.
1. The oil level groove on the oiler body, below the oilers bottle, must be located at the midpoint
between the Max and Min level scribe lines on the bearing sump oil level gauge.
2. The position of the oiler is adjusted by changing the length of the pipe nipple threaded into the
bottom of the oiler body.
3. The fill cap on the oiler must be closed tightly for the oiler to operate properly.
Features
The device has the following features:
1. Auxiliary source to replenish oil due to leakage.
2. Provides an indication of rate of oil leakage by the change in oil level in the constant level oiler.
3. Gives a quick look assurance that oil is in the bearing without the need to get close to the housing or shaft.

The switch Is connected through tubing or hoses to static pressure probes located on the inlet and
exhaust sides of the air filters. As the air filters become clogged during operation the static pressure drop
across the filters will increase and the air flow through the motor will be reduced. The static pressure
probes sense the change in static pressure drop across the filter and, as a result of this pressure
imbalance, a diaphragm in the switch body is deflected. The switch diaphragm deflection will actuate the
switch contacts.
MN420
Accessories 4-5
Remarks
1. Can provide an indication of reduced air flow (increased static air pressure drop) through the air
filters but cannot be used to measure actual air flow rates.
2. Primary function is as a maintenance aid to alert the user of the filter condition. since the switch can
be utilized to activate an alarm or signal a potential shut down condition.
3. Switch contacts are preset to actuate at a static pressure differential of 0.5 W.G. This value indicates
clogged filters.
Differential Air Pressure Indicator For WPII Motors
Purpose
The differential air pressure Indicator (manometer) is used to measure the static air pressure drop across
the air filters which Is an indication of the degree of blockage of the filter.
The differential air pressure indicator is an inclined vertical manometer connected through tubing and/or
hose to static pressure probes located on the inlet and exhaust sides of the air filters. As the air filters
become clogged during operation. the static air pressure drop across the filters will increase and the
liquid column level in the manometer tube will change. This change in liquid column level in the
manometer is calibrated to indicate the static pressure drop in Inches of water.
Remarks
1. Can provide a continuous indication of static air pressure drop across the air filters (I.e. reduced air
flow volume) but cannot be used to measure actual air flow rates.
2. Primary function is as a maintenance aid to alert the user of the filter condition.
3. The manometer scale is marked at the factory: green pointer at the clean filter pressure differential,
red pointer at the dirty filter pressure differential.
Current Transformers
Description
Current transformers are a means of measuring or sensing current flow through the input leads of AC
motors.
Application
Applications involve use of current transformers either for differential protection or metering line phase
current.
Installation
The current transformers can be supplied and mounted in an oversize main motor conduit box.
The current transformers will be identified by ratio on the current transformers nameplate and will include
screw type terminals on the secondary terminals.
Selection
The selection of the current transformers is based upon the ratio that the user requires for matching his
meters or related instrumentation.
Lightning Arrestors And Surge Capacitors
Air Filters
Description
Lightning arrestors serve to limit the crest value of incoming voltage curves. Surge capacitors lengthen
the rise time of the surge wave thus reducing its effects on the stator winding.
Installation
Arrestors and/or capacitors can be mounted in an oversize main conduit box. They are connected from
line leads to ground, generally as near as possible to the motor.
Selection
Standard capacitance value for surge capacitors is 1.0 mfd 460, 575 volts, .50 mfd 23007000 volts.
They are suitable for 25, 40, 50, or 60 Hz systems. Arrestors are selected according to the maximum
RMS LineToGround voltage.
Filters will handle high velocity air speeds up to 600 FPM (3 m/s) net face velocity.
Resistance to air flow of a clean filter should not exceed 0.15 W.G. (37 N/m2 gauge).
Baldor recommends that the filters be cleaned or replaced when the static air pressure drop across the
filters reaches .50 W.G. (123.3 N/m2 gauge).

Vertical Solid Shaft Motors
Overview
Duty Master Vertical AC motors are the perfect power mates for centrifugal pumps, sump pumps, turbine
pumps, inline process pumps, fans, aerators, mixers, autoclaves, cooling towers and similar
applications in general industrial environments, Additional performance and protection features are
available in standard modification packages for customized applications in special environments such as
petroleum refining, chemical, processing and water treatment.
Typical features include:
S High grade steel laminations of rotor and stator reduce current densities and losses for greater
electrical efficiency.
S Vertical motors are typically designed for specific applications. These designs consider the
appropriate thrust capability, shaft float and bearing arrangement.
S Large grease reservoir is located above bearing to assure proper lubrication maximum motor life.
S Grease relief occurs by purging through bearing for positive lubrication.
S Standard conduit box is diagonally split for fast installation and easy servicing; can be rotated for
connection from top, bottom, or either side.
Maintenance Bearing Lubrication
The motors covered by this instruction manual are equipped with open (no shields) antifriction bearings.
The data appearing on the Lubrication Nameplate attached to the motor has precedence over any data
presented in this manual.
Grease Lubricated Bearings
Motors equipped with grease lubricated bearings have been properly lubricated at the time of
manufacture and it is not necessary to lubricate at time of installation. If motor has been in storage for a
period of four months or more, lubricate before starting.
Lubrication of antifriction bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule.
The recommended lubrication interval below should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
This motor has been properly lubricated at the time of manufacture and it is not necessary to lubricate at
time of installation. When the motor has been in storage for a period of six months or more, lubricate
before starting.
Lubrication of antifriction bearings should be done as a part of a planned maintenance schedule. The
Recommended Lubrication interval should be used as a guide to establish this schedule.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate antifriction bearings should be fresh
and free from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the grease Wet area of the
motor to prevent grease contamination.
The relubrication periods shown in Table 5-2 are offered as a guide for different speeds, bearing types,
operating time and service conditions (Table 5-1).
Refer to motor nameplate for recommended lubricant. If none is shown, the recommended lubricant is
Mobil Polyrex EM. The following is a list of alternate lubricants.

Lubrication Procedure
Antifriction bearings may be lubricated with the motor running or stationary. (Stationary with the motor
warm is recommended.)
1. Relubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is recommended.
If lubrication must be done with motor running, stay clear of rotating parts and electrical circuits.
2. Locate the grease inlet, clean the area and replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting, if the motor is
not equipped with grease fittings.
3. Remove relief plug. If grease is caked around the plug, clean with a wooden stick or suitable tool, if
severe caking appears at the plug, run the motor until the bearing housing is warm, permitting a free
flow of grease through the housing.
4. Locate the motor nameplate. Find the lubricant recommended type and volume.
(Table 5-3 is for reference only, Nameplate values should always be used).
5. Add the recommended volume of the recommended lubricant using a hand operated grease gun.
6. Run the motor for 1/2 hour with relief plug removed.
7. Replace the pipe plugs and wipe off excess grease.
Oil Lubricated Bearings
Motors equipped with oil lubricated bearings are shipped from the factory without oil in the reservoirs. As
stated in the section on Receiving, the oil reservoirs must be filled with the proper lubricant upon
receiving the motor.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any lubricant used to lubricate motor bearings should be fresh and
free from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean the lubricant filler area of the
motor to prevent lubricant contamination.

B. Lubricant Characteristics
The lubricant must be a good grade turbine type mineral oil with the following additives.
1) Oxidation inhibitors
2) Antifoaming agents for rapid separation of water
3) Corrosion inhibitors that adhere to the bearing surfaces and protect against rust.
These turbine oils will help to prevent splashing, foaming and rusting in the bearing sump.
Note: Do not use a detergent type of oil or automotive type of oil. The pour point of the lubricant must be
lower than the minimum starling temperature.
Relubrication Procedure
A. Deenergize the motor, preferably by opening the manual disconnect switches, and locking the
switch in the out position.
B. Remove the drain plug(s) and drain the oil.
Note: The upper bracket contains approximately 9 gallons of oil.
C. If the oil appears discolored or contaminated, the sump(s) should be flushed with fresh, clean oil and
drained.
D. Clean the drain plug and area around the oil drain hole. Apply Permatex Type Aviation No.3 to the
drain plug threads and replace in the basket.
E. Clean the area around the oil fill plug and remove the plug. Fill the oil sump(s) to the proper level(s)
with the Recommended Lubricating Oil per the motor Lubrication Nameplate.
F. Replace the oil fill plug(s), wiped oil from the motor surfaces.
G. Start the unit and observe the oil level to be assured that there are no leaks.
Winding Maintenance (Open Motors only)
Deenergize motor preferably by opening manual disconnect. To inspect the ends and outside surface of
the windings, remove the end over from the motor. Inspection of these portions of the windings will
provide a good indication of their general condition. To thoroughly inspect and clean the windings it may
by necessary to remove the rotor.
There are numerous methods for cleaning windings. The following methods are most commonly used, in
order of preference.
Note: Before cleaning the windings, check for loose blocking, evidence of damage to insulation, distortion
or movement of coils, etc. If any of these conditions exist, contact your local Reliance service
engineer for recommendations.
A. Dry Wiping
This method is satisfactory when the surfaces to be cleaned are accessible and when only dry dirt is
to be removed. Use a clean dry, lintless cloth. Do not use waste since the lint will adhere to the
insulation and increase dirt collection. Lint is particularly objectionable on high voltage insulation
systems as it tends to concentrate corona discharge.
B. Brushing And Suction Cleaning
Remove the dry dust and dirt by brushing with a bristle brush, followed by a vacuum suction
cleaning. Do not use wire brushes.
C. Blowing
Dry dirt and dust can be removed from inaccessible crevices by using a jet of low pressure
compressed air.
MN420
D. Solvent Cleaning
Oil, grease, tar and wax can be removed by cloth wetted with solvent, followed by wiping with a dry
cloth. Typical solvents which which can be used are:
Atlantic Safety Solvent
Graymills Solvent
DeGreasall
Zep
Stoddard Solvent
E. Cleaning With Water and Detergent
Windings can be cleaned by hose washing or by a pressure spray from a low pressure steam
generator or shop steam line. Jet pressure and temperature should not exceed 30 psi (200 kPa) and
90C respectively. Oil. grease, tar and wax can be removed by adding a Nonconductive detergent
to the wash water. After washing, it is advisable to dry the windings in an oven.
Reconditioning (Revarnishing) Windings
If after cleaning with solvent or water and detergent, the insulation shows signs of dryness, etc., it
may be necessary to revarnish the windings. Consult your local Reliance service engineer for type
and proper method of revarnishing.
Checking Insulation Resistance
If the motor has been in storage for an extensive period or has been subjected to adverse moisture
conditions, check the insulation resistance of the stator winding as instructed in Section 2 of this
manual.
Renewal Parts
Parts can be obtained from your local Baldor District Office. When ordering parts please give a complete
description of part and purchase order number, serial number, model number, etc., of the equipment on
which the part is used.
Adjustment of Axial Float

Grease Lubricated Thrust Bearing
The thrust bearing is locked to withstand upward and/or downward thrust. The axial float Is equal to the
axial internal clearance in the thrust bearing.
Oil Lubricated Thrust Bearing
1. Motors equipped with Deep Groove Ball Bearing, Single Angular Contact Ball Bearing or Tandem
Angular Contact Ball Bearing Thrust Bearings.
a. These types of thrust bearings are designed to withstand thrust in one direction only downward
thrust. The axial float must be limited so that the upward thrust force and resultant motion will not
damage the thrust bearing. The upward thrust force Is withstood by the guide bearing.
b. The axial float must be limited to .010 to .015 inch. This Is accomplished by adjusting the thrust
bearing locknut. To facilitate this procedure, manually raise the shaft until the guide bearing
shoulders against the guide bearing inner cap.
c. With the shaft lifted, tighten the thrust bearing locknut with a spanner wrench (hand tightened).
d. Loosen the locknut approximately turn, Check the shaft axial float with a dial indicator by
manually raising and lowering the shaft.
NOTE: The dial indicator must be set up to measure the relative motion between the shaft and the
bracket or frame, not between the bearing mount and bracket.
e. Adjust the locknut as required to obtain .010 to .015 inch float. Lock the locknut in position.
2. Motors equipped with Duplex Mounted Angular Contact Ball Bearing Thrust Bearings.
a. This type of thrust bearing Is designed to withstand upward and downward thrust loads. The
axial float Is controlled by the assembled internal clearance of the duplex bearing set.
b. No axial float adjustment Is required. The bearing outer races are clamped in the bearing
housing. The bearing mount Is clamped between the thrust locknut and a shoulder on the shaft.
3. Motors Equipped with Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing (Spring Loaded Bearing)
a. This type of thrust bearing will withstand thrust in one direction only downward thrust. Any
upward thrust load must be absorbed by the guide bearing, The Spherical Roller Thrust bearing
MN420
outer ring is preloaded by helical springs to assure sufficient thrust load on the bearing during
periods of upward thrust loading (momentary).
Note: On motors equipped with spherical roller bearings, the shaft rotation will feel stiff due to bearing
preload.
b. To adjust the axial float the tl1rust bearing preload springs must first be fully compressed. This
Is accomplished by using a bearing assembly fixture. Tighten the Jack screws evenly until the
bearing Is solidly seated.
c. With the shaft lifted until the guide bearing shoulders against the guide bearing inner cap, tighten
the thrust bearing locknut with a spanner wrench (hand tightened). The shaft can be lifted by
means of a jack of lever bar.
d. Loosen the locknut approximately turn. Check the axial float with a dial indicator by manually
raising and lowering the shaft.
Note: The dial indicator must be set up to measure the relative motion between the shaft and the bracket,
NOT between the bearing mount and the bracket.
e. Adjust the locknut as required to obtain .010 to .015 inch float. Lock the locknut in position.
f. Release the bearing assembly fixture.
Note: The shaft will rotate with a stiff feeling due to the spring preload.
Non Reverse Ratchet

Motors equipped with a nonreverse ratchet will have the ratchet assembly housed above the top
bearing below the protective dome cover. This nonreverse ratchet will permit rotation in a CCW
direction only (viewed from the opposite drive end of the motor). The nonreverse ratchet assembly
consists of:
1. A stationary member (ratchet plate) with ramps and steps cast in it.
2. A rotating member with pins operating in vertical cylinders.
Under normal operating conditions the nonreverse ratchet will require no maintenance. However, if the
motor is subjected to numerous starts and stops or attempted reversals. the ratchet mechanism should
be inspected and worn parts should be replaced, if necessary.
Thrust Bearing Oil Cooler
When supplemental cooling of the oil is required, water cooling coils are immersed in the oil sump. The
water connections are brought out through the oil sump wall and are tagged inlet and Outlet. For proper
Cooling, approximately three gallons per minute of pure, clean sedimentfree water is required. The
Lubrication and Bearing Data Nameplate on the motor will provide the specific requirements for each
motor.
The cooling coil may be tested for leaks by draining the water from the coils and applying air pressure to
the coil while it is immersed in the oil (Maximum test pressure of 150 PSIG). Any leaks will result in air
bubbles rising from the coil.
Weather Protected Type And Low Noise Enclosures
These types of enclosures are obtained by adding air directing hoods to the four sides of the basic WPI
vertical motor. The air inlet and exhaust openings are 90 to each other. On motors equipped with filters,
the filter elements are installed inside of the air intake hoods. Access to the filter elements is gained by
opening the small doors on each side of the air intake hood.
The filters can be removed by sliding the filter along the filter track through the open doors. The filters
should be cleaned per the instructions provided on the nameplate affixed to the motor.
